Looking in g_canvas.c, canvas can take a "click" message followed by 5 floats. The arguments are "t_floatarg xpos, t_floatarg ypos, t_floatarg shift, t_floatarg ctrl, t_floatarg alt" but it none of those are used, at least by the following function:
static void canvas_click(t_canvas *x, t_floatarg xpos, t_floatarg ypos, t_floatarg shift, t_floatarg ctrl, t_floatarg alt) { canvas_vis(x, 1); }
It seems to only make the canvas visible, so try sending "click 0 0 0 0 0" to a named canvas...

Hey all
Is it still possible in Pd to send a message to canvas in order to emulate a mouse click? Some documents[1] and patches[2] on the Pure Data wiki suggest it was possible with earlier versions of Pd, but I can't get the examples to work with current Pd.
My aim is to make a symbolatom ready for text input without clicking it first.
